Single Kayak Rentals
Our single passenger kayaks are the perfect way to enjoy exploring the waterfront parks. We offer sit on top kayaks that are user friendly and do not require some of the technical expertise that traditional sit-inside kayaks do. Each rental includes a boat, a paddle, and a PFD. So grab some snacks, drinks, and sunscreen and then head out to explore our riparian environments! Boat rentals can only be made by individuals 18 years and older. All single kayak users must be 16 years and older. Life jackets are mandatory and must be worn at all times.
